As an aside, I was going to give my parents an MP3 recorder, and ask them to periodically &quot;talk&quot; to it based on questions I would present to them. Questions such as, &quot;tell me about your first date&quot; or &quot;what did your parents (my mom&#39;s parents) think about dad when they first met him,&quot; etc. We&#39;ve already done a couple, and it has been fun hearing all sorts of details I previously knew nothing about. Audio/video recordings (much like handwriting) really gives historical accounts so much more color and texture.Dan Hiestand -- Houstory Publishinghttp://www.homehistorybook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691016683378293851.post-59580544411615893802012-03-23T09:34:22.874-04:002012-03-23T09:34:22.874-04:00What a great recording - to hear your ancestors te...What a great recording - to hear your ancestors tell their own story is a lot more colourful than reading about it.
